Win a date with King Barry, the liberator of Iraq. Or more like "you've been ordered to attend."

Seriously, President Obama is going to mark the end of the Iraq war with a "state dinner" for a select, diverse, representative 200 from the services. I wonder if he'll invite his campaign bundler, Saddam-worshiper Jodie Evans of Code Pink?

Obama called Iraq a “dumb war.” One of his top fundraisers was a woman who worked with the terrorist insurgency in Iraq that killed thousands of Americans. Now he proposes to show “A Nation’s Gratitude”, as the dinner is being called, to the troops who survived his bundler’s efforts.

I wonder if George W. Bush will get an invitation. It would be appropriate, and at any rate he’d probably make the dinner more fun for the military men there. They and President Bush always seemed to get along well, back in the day.

"Jodie Evans helped rally the Los Angeles progressive community to Obamas side along with the Dreamworks trio of Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen.Jodie Evans went on to be appointed a fund raiser for Obama."

Sick bunch!

"In September 2008 Jodie Evans met with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in New York City." "In November, weeks after Obama won the presidential election, Jodie Evans and Code Pink traveled to Iran at the personal invitation of Ahmadinejad."

Pukebucket ßîT¢H!

"KTVU hashad video of Jodie Evans and Obama together at the fundraiser."

Just the Constitution of the United States. I realize that many on the left, and some here on FR don't think it matters anymore, but I swore an oath to uphold and defend that piece of parchment, and the words on it.

It’s amazing to me that the GOP for the first time perhaps since Dewey in 1948 is going to nominate someone who will be seen as the weaker candidate on natl security and foreign policy. who will give the dems the natl security edge.

If you could count on one thing it was that the GOP was the tougher party on natl security.

Romney will be the 1st GOP nominee who hasn’t served since Wilkie I believe. None of his kids or family memebers served and a case can be made that they’ve actively avoided service.

The dems are going to run the guy who got Bin Laden, took care of Khadaffi and Assad(he’ll be gone by the election you watch), and ended 2 wars. We’re going to run a guy with no military exp and no for policy exp and possibly the guy who exudes the least toughness of any candidate since Dukakis.

Barry is a lying a%%hole. The war against the Iraqi government ENDED with the fall of Saddam Hussein.

This continued fighting was a terrorist action (not just Iraqi nationals) that followed on the heels of the Iraq War. It’d be like saying the Civil War in the US lasted into the 1960s because of the KKK insurgency that rose up after the war and remained a terrorist force for decades.

The Iraq war may be over, but I was on a plane last week, Tuesday, and some U.S. Army soldiers* on the same plane were on a short leave from Iraq... And going back in a few days. Does anyone know how many of our military are still there?

*They were wearing what I believe are their OCP(?) combat uniforms — I think that’s what you call the desert camo fatigues? It’s the same camo clothing you often see on our Army guys when flying on commercial airliners.

To her credit, the head flight attendant personally thanked each one of our guys, and then announced the group at the end of the flight (mentioning that they were going back to Iraq soon) and asked us to thank them, which we did with a 757 full of applause.

Now that makes me proud of this country. Thanks for sharing.
